    I picked him up in our Draft due to his average being dragged down by the 3 or 4 bench games and also not playing 80 from memory in some of his starting games.

    I only looked at him from a Draft pov, not using up cap space, but Mulvy's stats are interesting. 47 average when playing 80 is pretty tidy for the dollars invested.

    I've flipfloped between Croft and Niko

    Niko will score a fair few tries because of the way he plays, scooting from dummy half and great in support so I don't think they can be discounted, I Just think Croft offers the same and will likely get more KM than Niko so his floor is higher

    After dissing Latu, with James seemingly set to return to the edge, Wallace out for 2 rounds, some young props at the Titans and Brennan loving him I have put Latu into the FR with Lodge which has allowed me a starting 2rf of Whitehead, Brown, Harris...if Murray gets named I will probably fit him in somewhere also!

    happy with scoring bench of RFM, Cook, Lichaa and Cartwright also

    They might give him DPP once named at CTR before the round kicks off... that would be sweet!

    I'm out of the loop. Were the reports of Whitehead playing Lock potentially true? And didn't he score lower there if so?

    100%

    would allow me to play Thompson/Katoa in the WFB with Teddy and Ponga and keep the rest of my team how it currently lines up

    at the moment have TWright in the CTR spot because I can't afford a $228,000 cheapie there

    They are doing timed DPP updates this year. Or did they say they would do changes prior to the season kicking off as well?

    So they are doing DPP changes around Round 1 and then the planned changes every 6 weeks or whatever it is after that?

    I believe this is the case fella!

    I'm also eyeing up EasyE

    He is one of my shouts to elevate to mid tier FR gun this year! no Vaughan but someone with potential to go in the 40-45 range

    So my team is set, with the only flaw carrying two Rookies at WFB.

    My back three looks like the following.

    Ponga, Katoa, Hiku (Kennar)

    Now my question is should I downgrade any of the following to bring in a gun WFB.

    Options to downgrade J. Graham, J. Bromwich, C. McQueen, N. Brown, C. Murray. (I have enough cover, to make up for swapping them out.)

    WFB is a tough place to get guns in if you start too low in value, There just isn't the same amount of scoring talent as other positions!
    FR, 2RF is full of mid rangers who can elevate and much easier to get onto rising cow and off failing ones

    At least that is the stance I'm taking this year with less room for error with less positions

    I refuse to take Tedesco out of my starting team this year

    Out of those I would downgrade J Graham...
    change of clubs... Vaughan and the rest of the Dragons pack might affect some of his base stats
